PostBase One is a digital mailing system with ink-jet print technology for metering mail. PostBase One complies with the pertinent safety regulations for office information equipment.
Please observe the following tips for your own safety.
Prevention of electrical hazards
• Operate the PostBase One mailing system only on grounded single-phase power sockets. Make sure your office power supply conforms to the power requirements indicated on the serial number plates.
• Make sure the sockets for connecting the PostBase One mailing system are close by and easily accessible at all times.
• Pull the power plugs in case of an emergency. Call the Customer Service.
• Take special care that no foreign objects penetrate the mailing system’s interior.
• Be extremely careful when handling liquids.
• If you fill the sealant tank, make sure not to wet any parts connected to the mains.
• Never cover the ventilation slots of the housing while the PostBase One mailing system is switched on.
• Pull the power plugs prior to cleaning the PostBase One mailing system.
Prevention of mechanical hazards
• Do not reach into the danger areas marked with safety signs.
• Keep long hair, fingers, loose clothing pieces, ties, shawls, jewelry and the like away from moving machine parts.
• Do not remove any parts of the housing.
• Do not remove any equipment related to safety or protection. Do not make them inoperative or unable to function. In case of an error (jam or unauthorized interference), the safety cap – a small part of the housing located at the letter exit of the postage meter – is released and the transport stops. You have to bring the safety cap back into position before you can go on using the PostBase One. By no means must you try to block or fasten the safety cap.

General safety tips
• Installation and commissioning of the PostBase One mailing system have to be done by qualified personnel authorized by Francotyp-Postalia.
• Do not use attached parts like the hand feed tray, the protective glass, the display, or the label dispenser as ‘handles’ during transport. The best way to handle the components is to hold them at the lower part of the housing at the clearance normally used for the housing connectors.
